While I very much doubt that Platkin wanted Trump to be elected, he is now part of a group of Democratic attorneys general who have arguably been the only effective resistance so far to the new administration.
The article from Politico's New Jersey Playbook discusses Attorney General Matt Platkin's involvement in a lawsuit against the Federal Highway Administration's congestion pricing plan for New York City, highlighting his resistance to the plan which could impact New Jersey commuters. Platkin's actions are part of a broader political narrative where he positions himself as a defender of New Jersey's interests against external impositions. The piece also touches on the political implications of this stance, suggesting that Platkin's legal battles could be setting the stage for future political ambitions, possibly eyeing higher office. Additionally, the newsletter covers other local political news, including reactions to the congestion pricing, updates on state politics, and mentions of key figures like Governor Phil Murphy and Senator Bob Menendez, reflecting the interconnected nature of state and local politics in New Jersey.
